Abstract
Abstract: Along with the growth of the construction sector, waste from construction and demolition has steadily increased. The Building Materials Promotion Council (BMPTC) estimates that India generates 1504.444 million tons of construction and demolition waste (C&D) annually. However, the official capacity is 6,500 tons per day (TPD), which is only about 1%. This article investigates the properties of black cotton soil and explores the use of recycled C&D waste from soil to stabilize black cotton soil. This study focuses on the inexpensive and environmentally friendly properties of C&D waste as a soil stabilization additive. Testing was conducted using different percentages of recycled C&D waste at rates of 15%, 20% and 25% to increase the strength of the Black Earth. The California Bearing Capacity Ratio (CBR) is 7.77 % to 12.36%, and the maximum dry density of (MDD) decreased from 2.104 g/cm3 to 1.86 g/cm3 and Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) showed change and increased from 13.15% to 18.04% with the addition of 25% C&D waste.
